Hi,
Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
From your submitted information it seems to be a Haemangioma that your daughter has. If haemangioma is increasing in size disproportionately , we need to rule out its presence in any other site like brain and liver. That exactly must be the reason you have been asked for an USG.
Hope this clears your doubts
